Opioid Overdose Prevention & Narcan Training

Did you know the leading cause of unintentional injury death in the U.S. is drug overdose—surpassing motor vehicle crashes? Opioids, including prescription painkillers and heroin, account for most of these deaths (CDC, 2024). Today, the risk is even higher as powerful opioids like fentanyl are increasingly found in other substances—sometimes without people realizing it.
Narcan (naloxone) is a life-saving medication that can quickly reverse an opioid overdose.

Join us for this important training where you will:

• Learn to recognize the signs of an opioid overdose
• Practice how to properly administer Narcan
• Understand the opioid crisis at both national and local levels
• Get updates on emerging trends—new drugs, law changes, and the evolving illicit drug supply

Overdose deaths are preventable. Together, we can save lives.

RSVP with Marla McBride at mmcbride@cypresscollege.edu.

All participants will receive free Narcan and be entered into a raffle to win a First Aid Kit from the Student Health and Wellness Center. A certificate of completion from the OC Health Care Agency will be sent out after the training.
